Flatpages

[Lee Hinde]

I added flatpages to a project and got it working fine locally, using dev server, but I get a 404 accessing my test page when I push to production.

Googling the issue,  most common complaints fixed by making sure SITE_ID was set, and that's in place in my site.

I'm not using middleware, I'm using the url:

urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.flatpages.views',

    (r'^(?P<url>.*/)$', 'flatpage'),

)

I'm not sure how to debug this...

[Collin Anderson]

What is your page's url? Does it end with a slash?

[Lee Hinde]

It's /test/. The flatpages admin form won't accept a url that doesn't begin and end in a slash.

Is it only occurring on the flatpages test page or all your pages (or is that the only page)? Remember you need ALLOWED_HOSTS set in production[1]

[Lee Hinde]

It's the only page; I'll double-check allowed hosts...

Thanks.

[Lee Hinde]

Yes, ALLOWED_HOSTS is set. This site has been in production since late March, so it's otherwise a going concern. (1.6.x, which I didn't mention earlier).

I also assume you added the page to the production database and not just your dev database (if they're different)?

[Lee Hinde]

Yes, it's a record in the flatpages table on the production side.

There is a warning about APPEND_SLASH = False in the flatpages documentation:

Warning

If you set APPEND_SLASH to False, you must remove the slash in the catchall pattern or flatpages without a trailing slash will not be matched.

Could it be that?

[Lee Hinde]

I don't have APPEND_SLASH in my settings and the default is True, so I don't think that's it. 

Also, I used the django extension show_urls and the flatpages url showed up in the output, so I think it's in the chain.

[Collin Anderson]

SITE_ID is set, but is the correct site selected on the flatpage?

[Lee Hinde]

Yes.

[Lee Hinde]

I just logged into the backend to make sure the django_flatpage_sites table was populated and it is.
